Also Gio signs a one year deal with Tampa.

Veteran RB Giovani Bernard is signing a one-year deal with the #Bucs, per source.

Tom Brady and Bruce Arians both personally recruited Bernard, one of the NFL’s best receiving backs, after his release from Cincinnati. Another weapon for Brady and the Super Bowl champs.

Happy for Gio but this pisses me off. Brady and Arians were probably drooling over his release knowing they could scheme him perfectly. We flat out missed an oppty here IMO. If he's good enough for a SB winner to use for a year he should be good enough for us.

There is plenty of things that the Bengals do to get pissed off about but releasing Gio is not one of them.

Me thinks you may live to regret that statement when Brady and Arians make him look like the second coming of James Brooks this year and we spend a middle round draft pick on some schlep that barely makes the practice squad. I dont know what his contract was in the Tampa deal, but I'd rather have a known commodity here regardless. You just dont cut guys that are locker room leaders and have the moves on the field to match. Zac and crew needed about 8-10 plays a game to get Gio open for short yard play action passes where he can maximize YAC. They just didnt do it.

Bengals claim Thadeus Moss from WTF.
I liked him in college and JB will likely love getting the band back together. Let’s hope he has some of his dad’s talent

Wait.......did you really just start a statement with the words, "Me thinks".....?

The #Browns are signing free agent pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney to a 1-year deal after he passed his physical, sources say, landing a player who has been a target of Cleveland’s for years. Fresh off a lost season in 2020, Clowney has high hopes with his new team.

I would imagine the Chiefs are now out of the equation with them trading for Brown.
